在知识经济背景下，知识产权的重要性日益凸现。我国企事业单位越来越重视知识产权管理工作，企事业单位越来越需要知识产权管理人才。知识产权管理人才在企事业单位中在知识产权管理、科研创新、对外贸易、法律事务等方面起着专业性、导向性等作用，因其与专利代理人、知识产权律师和企业法律顾问有着人员隶属关系、工作性质和工作内容等区别，成为无法代替的企事业单位知识产权管理的核心力量。然而，本文调查表明，我国知识产权管理人才评价体系存在层次性不高、衔接性不强、权威性不足、制度不够完善等问题，使知识产权管理人才的地位、待遇与他们发挥的作用不相称，处于尴尬地位，不能完全满足企事业单位的需要。因此，亟需根据知识产权管理人才所需知识、能力水平、资格条件，建立适合其专业技术特点的职业资格制度进行评价和规范，激励他们发挥更加积极的作用。本文调查显示，大部分单位主张采用“知识产权管理工程师职业资格制度”对知识产权管理人才进行评价。研究表明，建立知识产权管理工程师职业资格制度，是我国经济发展和建设“创新型国家”宏伟战略目标的实现的需要；是我国知识产权管理人才队伍壮大、素质提升的需要；是我国企事业单位的生存与发展的需要；是人才自身职业发展、人才流动的需要。 本文采用文献调研、实地访谈和专家咨询等研究方法，并面向全国知识产权局系统及有关企事业单位发放调查问卷，初步了解了我国地方知识产权人才评价体系建设现状和需求。本文针对研究及调研情况，首先介绍了我国知识产权管理人才队伍的现状，论述了我国建立知识产权管理人才评价机制的迫切性。其次对我国现行的专利代理人、知识产权律师和企业法律顾问等相关职业资格制度进行了比较分析，进一步阐明建立我国知识产权管理工程师职业资格制度的必要性。最后在研究了日本知识产权管理工程师职业资格制度的基础上，本文提出了建立我国知识产权管理工程师职业资格制度相关建议。
